Skyfall: The 2013 Toronto Maple Leafs

I made a montage of the Leafs’ 2013 season. During the week that the end of the lockout was announced, and shortly after Brian Burke was fired, I heard Adele’s song Skyfall that she made for the new James Bond movie with the same name. I’m always video editing and always tinkering with highlights, and it struck me as the perfect song to end the Leafs’ season.

That is, of course, if the season wasn’t an utter disaster.

With the haunting "18-wheeler off of a cliff" collapse in the final months of the 2011-12 season, compounded with the sudden firing of Brian Burke, Toronto seemed destined for another disappointing non-playoff season. Well, it wasn’t always pretty, but the Leafs fought hard, ended the drought, and brought the playoff rush that had been missing in Leafs Nation for nearly a decade.
